[christopheradams/elixir_style_guide][styleguide].

## Installation

Add `credo_contrib` to the list of dependencies in your `mix.exs`:

```elixir
def deps do
  [
    {:credo_contrib, "~> 0.1.0-rc"}
  ]
end
```

## Usage

Add the desired checks to your `.credo.exs`:

```elixir
%{
  configs: [
    %{
      name: "default",
      checks: [
        {CredoContrib.Check.FunctionBlockSyntax, allow_single_kw_defs: false},
        # …
      ]
    }
  ]
}
```

## Available Checks

#### `CredoContrib.Check.DocWhitespace`

Disallows extranneous whitespace in documentation strings:

```elixir
## GOOD

defmodule Foo do
  @moduledoc """
  This is a module
  """

  @doc """

  """
  def bar do
    :ok
  end
end

## BAD

defmodule Foo do
  @moduledoc """
